Aluminum and PlasticIn the past year, we have had great success with our
blue exterior recycle bins for plastic and aluminum. Thank
you! As an expansion of this effort we've started placing
blue
containers for plastic and aluminum can recycling inside
classroom buildings. Buildings we are using as pilot locations
for this effort are Lockett, Coates Hall, Prescott, Atkinson
and Tureaud. Look for these in vending areas and at entrances.

NewsprintWith
the increased number of newspapers being delivered to campus
we have placed 30 green recycle bins in the Quad to help
capture discarded newspapers. We ask that all students, staff
and faculty dispose of newspapers responsibly. Either place
newspapers in the green bins in the Quad or in one of the
paper recycle boxes in your building.

Since the
fall of 2003, Facility Services has distributed 2,000 desk side
recycle trays and 800 large recycle boxes to academic and
administrative buildings. Look for these boxes in your
classroom and office areas. Your building custodial staff is
responsible for emptying the interior recycle boxes; for
service call Building Services at 578-5392. If you need new or
replacement receptacles, send an e-mail toaharri2@lsu.edu;
indicate the number and type of container(s) needed, along
with the building and room number where you would like them
delivered. In the near future, we will begin to replace the
large cardboard paper recycle boxes with a more durable blue
plastic, paper recycle containers.

We
are continuing to add exterior containers for the collection of
glass plastic and aluminum as funds become available. Great job
by those who are using these resources. (See table for locations). The
Department of Landscape Services empties the blue outdoor
containers.
